In November I somehow convinced my wife to let me purchase a second 911 and my first air cooled. My other is a 997.2 GTS which caused me to develop a obsession with all things 911. I've owned that car for over two years now and it is so perfect out of the box that I haven't touched a thing. Unfortunately, that hasn't scratched the itch I developed in my 20's of upgrading and modifying cars. I settled on an SC because of the price and commonality, I didn't want to go about modifying a pristine showroom quality car.
That's how I came upon the White Ghost. Now I'm not one to go naming my cars, but the owner I purchased the car from had owned it for over 15 years and had purchased it from the original owner, a close friend of his who had since passed away. That original owner named the car and purchased the vanity plate WHTGHST. With a cool history like that I couldn't just throw it away.
My plan right now is to get the car running as well as possible and simplify along the way. I've already replaced much of the ignition system and am currently troubleshooting a stall issue documented here,
911sc stalling problem.
In addition to that I've backdated the heat, and removed the A/C. I wish I had documented that work, which is why I'm creating this thread.
Over the next couple of weeks I'll be installing some awesome LED headlights and gauge lights from a forum vendor, sorting out the stalling issue and throwing on a Mod 07 wheel. After that I have a bit more of a budget to burn through before I need to go back to the wife begging for cash.
Until then heres a few pics:
